Fished Solana Beach for the first time. Also my first time doing a surf launch in a fishing kayak (PA14). Took a couple over the bow, cockpit/pedal area filled up and listed badly but luckily it drained and I made it out. Also found out the rod holder tubes leak so had maybe half a gallon in the hull.
Launched around 6:30 and only caught a couple of small Calicos (1 on a flatfall and the other on a Warbaits 1oz head and Calico Candy Zman. Things suddenly heated up around 10am. Caught these guys, followed by Calicos for a total of 13, then called it a day around noon.
Made it halfway in through the surf then got a little sideways, lost my nerve, and jumped out. Body dragged from the stern handle the rest of the way in, but at least no yard sale.
